A newb trying to overclock

[holymonk]

I just got a new PC from overclockers, I am not sure what the temps should be but they appear a bit high considering the h/s and fan are massive (Gelid Tranquillo).

I have it on the genie overclock and its auto been set to 4.2ghz.

I did go into bios and up the number of the multiplier so it ran at 4.5ghz, but as soon as i ran prime95 it immediately went to a blue screen?

Why is this? I would have thought 4.5 would be easily achievable?

Genie overclock is far from a good overclock.

Manual overclock is much better for stability and sometimes temperature too.

cant really see the details, but i presume its a SB cpu.
have you raised the vcore (cpu voltage) a couple of levels in the bios?

also have a look in the overclocking sticky http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17612922

also loads of settings in Koooweee's SB thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18287345

This. Can't see what voltages you're running. You may need to bump it up to 1.3v or higher (up to 1.37v) to get it stable at 4.5ghz.

Apologies, I have uploaded a new one, can you recommend safe core voltage to increase too? 4.5ghz is more than enough for me.

 

[holymonk]

tried upping both the vcore and the ram voltage, crashed 3 times on prime 95, blue screen

Here are my settings currently, I have not tried prime 95 at this speed.

Ideally I am looking for 4.5ghz.
